<p>
gschem can export a schematic or symbol page to an image file.  To create an image file, use <strong>File→Write image…</strong> to show the “Write image…” window.  This window allows you to select the file to output to, the type of image to create, and (if necessary) the size of the image.
</p>

<p>
If you select Portable Document Format to output, the “Width x Height” value will not be used.  Instead, the file will be sized to fit the visible contents of your schematic or symbol page.
</p>

<p>
<p><div class="notetip">If you wish to display the symbol schematic in a printed document, <acronym title="Portable Document Format">PDF</acronym> is recommended.  For use on web pages or for presentations, consider <acronym title="Portable Network Graphics">PNG</acronym>.
